aiee! i'm dressed like a republican!

When I went to the votey place this morning, the woman who asked me what ballot I wanted told me I was dressed like a Republican (well, after I told her I was voting Republican today).

Is there a "republican" way to dress? And if so, what is it? I'm flummoxed.

I felt surprisingly bad for the Democrat guy whose ballot I did not ask for, but I felt a little less bad when I checked in on the VA Dems' website this morning to see... duh duh duh! more about that stupid "Healthy Virginians" plan. Cause no party is immune to thinking that the thing to do to make people healthy is fight The Fat. The Fat is EVIL.

I voted Republican too. And yes, it's the pick your enemy mentatlity. I was, however, very embarrassed about the whole thing. I fought down the urge to explain to the poll workers that I'm not *really* a Republican, I'm just voting that way ... *sigh*
I am, however, wearing a blue shirt, which I will also wear to three different Republican victory parties tonight and I expect I will stand out and look like a Democratic infiltrator.
Are you by chance, wearing red? That may have labeled you as Republican-looking.

Nope. I'm wearing a black dress and a little black sweater over it.

Of course what I said to the woman was "I'm voting republican TODAY", with a pronounced emphasis on the last word (that made me feel better - like I'm a liberal picking your candidate and YOU CAN'T STOP ME)... so she may have just been trying to small talk me into republican groupthink.
